This season is a real ordeal for Paulo Dybala. And the troubles do not stop for the Argentinian, who only played 22 matches during this vintage. The latter underwent knee surgery this Friday after the discovery of a tear in the external meniscus. Doctors identified a complete so-called “bucket handle” tear, an injury that was causing the locking sensations Dybala felt in his knee in recent days. The operation went well and the player should leave the hospital in the evening.
According to information relayed by Sky Italiathe duration of unavailability should be around 45 days, which will force the 32-year-old striker to miss several important meetings with the Giallorossi. Among the matches he is expected to miss is the trip to Inter Milan as well as the Europa League round of 16 against Bologna. His presence for the end of the season remains uncertain and will depend on the progress of his recovery.
